After my recent blood donation, I “liked” Keebler on Facebook and thanked them for providing cookies at the drive. They liked my comment and responded with:<\/p>\n
“Uncommonly good deed deserve uncommonly good cookies, friend”<\/p>\n
So, clearly, I’m “in” with the cookie overlords. You may begin sending me tribute now.
\nOn a more serious note, UA has a Zips Assistance Pantry set up for next week. Faculty and Staff were encouraged to bring in shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc. for students that were struggling. I made a trip to dollar general and loaded up – and this morning my co-workers and I dropped the items off.<\/p>\n
It’s a good thing and I’m glad I was able to help – but it’s also really sad. I think there’s an assumption that if a parent can send their kid to college, they can help out with the day to day stuff too – and that’s not always the case.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In other news… I’ve not been as fanatical about my swimming this year. I haven’t been going as often or swimming as far. I think I got a little burned out last year and haven’t had the motivation. And it’s beginning to show on my waistline. I haven’t had to change pant sizes yet, but that’s the way things are heading. I need to do something, but swimming is the only exercise that didn’t bore me to tears. Maybe I need to try the 100 push-ups challenge again…<\/p>\n
Finally, I’ve got a new origami project in the works. I’m going to do a mosaic with a space invader figure. The main part of the project will be at least 176 pieces of paper – and that doesn’t count the connector pieces. I haven’t figured those up yet since they aren’t visible, but I’ll need to get some paper for those at some point. Lot of folding to do, but it should be fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
